It's not surprising with Grier getting the GM job there.
Miller is in SoCal and Vanek is staying in Minnesota. I doubt location was as big of a factor as the prior relationship with Grier.Or with Miller living in California
When Kyle Okposo signed a one-year contract to return to the Buffalo Sabres, he did so with a serious belief that this team can contend for more than just a spot in the playoffs.
So as training camp approached, Okposo had an idea. Rather than wait for the beginning of the season to get the team-building process started, he wanted to start things early this year. He and his wife organized a team trip down to the Buffalo Bills’ Week 1 game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
“I wanted to get us together so that when we hit the ground running in camp there wasn’t a bonding process that needed to happen,” Okposo said. “When we hit camp, it’s full go. The last few years have been about building bonds, setting a foundation and finding our identity throughout the season.”
